| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7370849 | Self-pumping hydropneumatic spring strut unit A self-pumping hydropneumatic spring strut unit includes a working cylinder filled with oil under pressure and a piston and rod unit displaceable in the cylinder so as to define two working spaces in the cylinder, and high-pressure and low pressure chambers surround... | 05/13/2008 |
| 7156382 | Dual airbag airspring An air spring assembly includes a primary airbag mounted to a piston air bag such that the piston airbag provides a rolling surface for the primary airbag. A change in the piston airbag pressure changes the effective rate of the primary air spring. A relatively smal... | 01/02/2007 |
| 6921098 | Independent suspension system for light and medium duty vehicles The present invention relates to an improved vehicle suspension system. More particularly, the present invention relates to an independent suspension system for light and medium duty trailers which utilizes a flexible bladder mounted between the vehicle frame and th... | 07/26/2005 |
| 6808168 | Fluid-filled active vibration damping device Disclosed is a fluid-filled active vibration damping device including: an elastic body; a primary fluid chamber partially defined by the elastic body; a movable member partially defining the primary fluid chamber on one side and a working air chamber on the other si... | 10/26/2004 |
| 6604734 | Method of retaining an air suspension A method of retaining a suspension system includes creating a negative pressure within an air spring such that a longitudinal member is retained in a substantially fixed position relative to a chassis component when the longitudinal member is placed in an... | 08/12/2003 |
| 6547045 | Shock absorber In an air-type shock absorber, a piston is sealing situated in a cylinder chamber. A vacuum state occurs in a piston bearing side of the cylinder chamber when a piston is pushed. Also, an air reservoir is provided at a side opposite to the piston bearing ... | 04/15/2003 |
| 6412760 | Liquid-filled type vibration isolator A liquid-filled type vibration isolator, having a vibration isolation mechanism, formed between first and second coupling members to be mounted to a vehicle body-side member, including: a rubber-like insulator for absorbing and isolating vibrations from t... | 07/02/2002 |
| 6263556 | Temperature compensating gas spring strut and method of making An apparatus and a method of making an automatic temperature compensating gas spring strut, the method comprising providing an outer cylinder having opposite ends with one end closed and the other end apertured to permit movement of the strut therethrough... | 07/24/2001 |
| 5492311 | Active positioning element An active positioning element for a rubber mount, including a space surrounded by a housing, a positioning member and a working member which is designed as a spring element arranged within the space. The positioning member and the working member are movab... | 02/20/1996 |
| 5215293 | Fluid-filled elastic mount having double-layered flexible membrane separating fluid chamber and vacuum-receiving chamber A fluid-filled elastic mount including mutually spaced-apart first and second support members, and an elastic body for elastically connecting the first and second support members. The elastic mount has a plurality of fluid chambers filled with a non-compr... | 06/01/1993 |
| 5167403 | Fluid-filled elastic mount having two orifice passages one of which is selectively opened and closed by means of vacuum pressure A fluid-filled elastic mount is disclosed which includes a first and a second support member, an elastic body for interconnecting the support members and partially defining a pressure-receiving chamber, and a partition structure which cooperates with a fi... | 12/01/1992 |
| 5145156 | Fluid-filled elastic mount having two differently tuned orifices selectively utilized for damping or isolating vibrations in different frequency ranges A fluid-filled elastic mount including a first support structure and a second support structure which are spaced from each other in a load-receiving direction, an elastic body for elastically connecting these structures, and a partition structure supporte... | 09/08/1992 |
| 4852863 | Pneumatic suspension for motor vehicles A pneumatic suspension intended for motor vehicles that is equipped with an additional volume. An adjusting piston defining the additional volume separates two work chambers from one another, which can be disconnected from one another or made to communica... | 08/01/1989 |
| 4650169 | Hydraulically damped resilient mounting A hydraulically damped resilient mounting. Compared to undamped mountings, motor mounts having hydraulic damping transmit more noise because the damping device that is desirable for driving comfort favors the transmission of noise. The inventive damping d... | 03/17/1987 |
| 4618129 | Vibration damping arrangement A vacuum-operated mount for mounting an engine of a passenger or commercial motor vehicle which includes a variable volume chamber enclosed by a thick rubber encasement.
